Ha Long Bay, which literally means "descending dragon bay", is UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Vietnam. The Bay belongs to Ha Long City and features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Ha Long Bay covers an area of approximately 1,533 square kilometres including 1,960 to 2,000 islets, most of which are limestone. The highest density of these islets (775) is concentrated in an area of 334 square kilometres. It is estimated that this bay has gone through various stages of change over a period of 500 million years.
We took a day-long tour around Cat Ba Island/Ha Long Bay. This place is ridiculously photogenic. Let me assure my friends, yes, this is still Earth, and yes, it is real. Somehow.
Along the way the guides took us to one of the floating home/floating fish farms. They live in little shacks on the water and keep fish in nets lowered in the water. The guides said there's over 2000 people living this way in the area. Other than being on the water, it looks like any other low-wage village around here, complete with dogs corner stores, etc.
Oh, and it turns out this is the time of year to come! Weather was great and the place was not busy. We had the entire boat to ourselves!

Ha-Mal'akhim-Shkharya Forest is a national park located in Israel. Road N 35 divides this forest into two parts. Today we will explore its northern part.
William Morales' dog was chasing a gibnut on property in 1989, when the dog “vanished" into the rock wall. Morales found it was a cave mouth and was a Mayan sacred cave and one of the largest collections of Maya pottery ever discovered. This was Che Chem Ha (Cave of Poisonwood Water). The Morales' family take small numbers of tours through the 800m cave and tunnels using ladders to access open areas and niches. It took us 1/2 hour walking through forest to access the grilled entrance (with dogs). Limited numbers (no more than 8 people, once or twice a day, book ahead or there won’t be anyone there). Not busy (we were alone).
Reprocessed from the scratch M8. There was too much saturation in initial processing for my current taste. Also I realized that M8 is most south target that I ever imaged. For my location it culminates at 15 degrees above horizon.
The Lagoon Nebula (M8, NGC 6523, SH2-25) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. Within the nebula is the open cluster NGC 6530.
The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4,000-6,000 light-years away from the Earth. In the sky of Earth, it spans 90' by 40', which translates to an actual dimension of 110 by 50 light years. Like many nebulas, it appears pink in time-exposure color photos but is gray to the eye peering through binoculars or a telescope, human vision having poor color sensitivity at low light levels. The nebula contains a number of Bok globules (dark, collapsing clouds of protostellar material), the most prominent of which have been catalogued by E. E. Barnard as B88, B89 and B296. It also includes a funnel-like or tornado-like structure caused by a hot O-type star that emanates ultraviolet light, heating and ionizing gases on the surface of the nebula. The Lagoon Nebula also contains at its centre a structure known as the Hourglass Nebula (so named by John Herschel), which should not be confused with the better known Engraved Hourglass Nebula in the constellation of Musca. In 2006 the first four Herbig–Haro objects were detected within the Hourglass, also including HH 870. This provides the first direct evidence of active star formation by accretion within it.
